I will say that for the just concluded 5 months semester my experience in some cases are well perceived and gave me a lot experiences each semester as I go higher in my academic life, first I will say some of my classses the instructor is well informed and known the course given to him or her to teach in some cases they don't, which put a lot of work hard on the study in other study more to meet put with the course requirements. But in over all I will confidently say that some of the classes which mainly are required course in my field of study are positive experiences for me, I will confidently say to any individual wishing to take a course in Huston Tillotson University to first go through the enrollment management to get the required courses for his or her classes
Review Huston-Tillotson University
I love this University! The campus is small, but it gives off a family vibe, the teachers are great. They actually want to see you succeed and be apart of the community.
I have been at Huston-Tillotson University for almost a year. I transferred in from a different school. I am in the adult degree program which is aimed at adults and working people who are busy during the day, get a change to attend school at night. I make straight A's here. I am currently on the dean's list. The atmosphere of the school is great. Communication with financial aid is a bit of a battle at times but that would be the only downside I see. Overall, its been great.
